SHOOTIN' BLIND/bv Alan Eynon
In just a few months, the
excitement and magic of a
presidential election will be upon
us. We will be choosing our new
leader for the next four years. Like
an experienced attendant at the
Magic Kingdom, therefore, it is my
solemn duty to guide you through
the political Matterhorn. My
advice is to stay away from the
Reagan.
What are my reasons for
avoiding this Mickey Mouse man?
In a nutshell, just think how dull
these next four years will be if he
gets re-elected:
"Wow, man. Like, it's so-o-o
gross to have to lay low another
Family Educational Rights

standing or status.

and other student disciplinary

the regulation.
Copies of the material in a
student's file in any office will be
made, on written request by the
student, by that office at a nominal
charge for each photocopy. The
only exception to this rule is that
each student is given two official
transcripts of his or her permanent
records free of charge. Additional
transcripts will cost $1 each.

provisions of the Act, the
University reserves the right to

four years, you know? I was just
partying to the max before he got
into office." Needless to say,
inflation is rather concerned about
getting Ronald Reagan out of
office.
"Before Reagan, we take
security measures. Secured
Afghanistan and Nicaragua.
Comrades, it is no fun to stay
home. Vote out Reagan, or we will
never have fun." Reagan has been
crashing the Soviet's "Come and
BLOOM COUNTY
join our merry troops" expansion
party.
"1 dunno man. 1 figure life's
gonna get tougher if he's around.
Why, with inflation and
unemployment knocked out, hell
be taking me on soon."The federal
budget hasn't been sleeping well
lately . That line-item veto axe will
soon be making itself felt.
And besides, after all the hard
work our recent presidents have

put into soiling the presidential
image, what's going to happen if
we have another four years of
leadership? People might start
respecting the presidency and
believing in the nation. Where is
that old cynicism and despair? Get
Reagan out of office before he does
any more damage to the nation. As
it stands now, we're going to need a
bozo president just to undo this
mess of pride and patriotism.
Don't vote for Reagan.
